Google Classroom ties Google Drive, Google Docs,
Sheets and Slides, and Gmail together to help educational
institutions go to a paperless system. Google Calendar was later
integrated to help with assignment due dates, field trips, and class
speakers. Students can be invited to classrooms through the institution's
database, through a private code that can then be added in the
student's user interface or automatically imported from a school
domain. Each class created with Google Classroom creates a separate folder in
the respective user's Google Drive, where the student can submit work to be
graded by a teacher

Uses:
●
Feedback Providing meaningful feedback
to students is a valuable part of all learning. Within the grading tool of
Classroom, teachers can send feedback to each student on assignments. The
ability to create a comment bank for future use is also available within the
grading tool. In addition, the Classroom mobile app allows users to annotate
work.
●
Data Analysis In order to make learning
meaningful, teachers should analyze data from assessments to ensure students
are understanding learning objectives. Data from assessments can easily be
exported into Sheets for sorting and analysis as paid subscription that allows for more features.
●
Differentiation Through Classroom, teachers
are easily able to differentiate instruction for learners. Assigning lessons to
the whole class, individual students, or groups of students takes just a few
simple steps when creating an assignment on the Classwork page.
●
Collaborate Classroom offers several ways
for students to collaborate. Teachers can facilitate online discussions between
students and create group projects within the Classroom. In addition, students
can collaborate on Google Docs which have been shared by the teacher.
●
Engagement Most digital natives are
comfortable with technology and will be more apt to take ownership in their
learning through use of technology. Classroom offers numerous ways to make
learning interactive and collaborative. It offers teachers the ability to
differentiate assignments, include videos and web pages into lessons, and
create collaborative group assignments.
●
Time Saver Classroom is a huge time
saver. With all resources saved in one place and the ability to access
Classroom anywhere, teachers will have more free time to complete other tasks.
Since Classroom can be accessed from a mobile device, teachers and students can
participate through their phones or tablets.
●
Communication Built-in tools make communicating
with students and parents a breeze. Teachers and students can send emails, post
to the stream, send private comments on assignments, and provide feedback on
work. Teachers have full control over student comments and posts. They can also
communicate with parents through individual emails or through Classroom email
summaries which include class announcements and due dates.
●
Exposure Classroom provides students
with exposure to an online learning system. Many college and university
programs now require students to enroll in at least one online class. Exposure
to Google Classroom may help students transition into other learning management
systems used in higher education.
●
Paperless Teachers and students won’t
have excessive amounts of paper to shuffle since Classroom is completely
paperless. When teachers upload assignments and assessments to Classroom, they
are simultaneously saved to Drive. Students can complete assignments and
assessments directly through Classroom, and their work is also saved to Drive.
Students can access missed work due to absences and locate other resources they
may need
Google Classroom can be accessed from any computer via Google
Chrome or from any mobile device regardless of platform. All files
uploaded by teachers and students are stored in a Classroom folder on Google
Drive. Users can access Classroom anytime, anywhere. Students no longer have to
worry about crashed computers or hungry dogs.
